Jesus answered him, ‘Those who love me will keep my word, and my Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them. Whoever does not love me does not keep my words; and the word that you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who sent me.
‘I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me say to you, “I am going away, and I am coming to you.” If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to the Father, because the Father is greater than I.

My beloved Jesus, it is not enough to give You lip service, but I must live the love I profess for You by being obedient. In keeping the Word, the Father and Son will make my heart a resting/dwelling place for Himself. The Word is the Father's Word sent by Him - the Word has accomplished in perfect humility and obedience, powered love all that the Father desired and now in this new age, the Father sends the Holy Spirit in the Name of Jesus to complete and confirm us by teaching, reminding, helping and refreshing us. The Prince of Peace gives us lasting peace, such peace that the world looks in amazement. I will be neither troubled or afraid for I love You my Jesus and I trust You.
